We carried out 10 field expeditions between 2010 and 2015 in the lowland part of the Congo
River network in the eastern part of the basin (Democratic Republic of the Congo), to …

The chemical weathering of silicate rocks can yield bicarbonate which is transported via
rivers to the ocean, followed by the deposition of carbonate, acting as a carbon sink on long …

The homeostatic balance of Earth's long-term carbon cycle and the equable state of Earth's
climate are maintained by negative feedbacks between the levels of atmospheric CO 2 and …

A negative feedback between silicate weathering rates and climate is hypothesized to play a
central role in moderating atmospheric CO 2 concentrations on geologic timescales …

Carbon emissions to the atmosphere from inland waters are globally significant and mainly
occur at tropical latitudes. However, processes controlling the intensity of CO2 and CH4 …

The inevitable deployment of negative emission technologies requires carbon accounting to
incentivise the investment and to foster an active CO2 certificate trading schema. Enhanced …

Abstract The Congo River in central Africa represents a major source of organic matter (OM)
to the Atlantic Ocean. This study examined elemental (% OC,% N, and C: N), stable isotopic …

Lake Kivu is one of the African Great Lakes lying in the Albertine Rift. It provides livelihoods
to 5.7 million people living in the two riparian countries of the Democratic Republic of the …

We report the first δ 18 O and δ 2 H data of Virunga rainfall in the Eastern Democratic
Republic of the Congo, situated on the limit between Central and Eastern Africa. The dataset …

Chemical weathering fluxes from small basalt catchments, the Ambika and the Girna in the
Deccan Traps, have been compared. The two catchments are characterized by distinct …
